What would you do with a high end AR15 that had no standard sights ? Pick out some and buy them or just add a dot optic ! Figure out what you want .

There's already a tread on the same subject as yours running . Same sights used on an ar15 work on the fpc . Your choice

A simple set of Magpul flip ups work fine. Just use the large aperture because the sight is farther from your eye being mounted on the barrel.
I use them as a backup to my red dot but used just the Magpuls before getting the red dot.

To bad you couldn't pick rail mount sights for any ar15 as they would be the same ! Will you need help picking the magpul mbus sight as there are some original flip up's out there . Then the gen 2, 3 and pro . Then maybe a tritium or fiber tritium front sight insert . Good luck
 
I think you're biggest issue is that the FPC receiver isn't railed like an AR so you won't be getting your eye close enough. There's an aftermarket rail for the receiver but doesn't look like it's on the same level as the handguard rail.
A low profile/ micro rear sight might line up with a std. AR flip up front/fixed sight.
 
I put a set of CZ Scorpion irons on mine. They would fly off every range session, metal sights on a plastic rail.

Wound us with just a Primary Arms 1x Prism sight on the gun with no back up irons at all. I wuld think the MagPul sights would be perfect.
